Anyone had theres done? who did it plus were they just powder coated as it seems a funny paint coating on them?

 

I polished my water pump pulley up with different grades of cutting Compound and then polished it, came up awesome Shiny black

 

Yeah I've seen a few different effects that look good but I think I'll stick with the black

 

Find a company that does anodising. you can have it done in many colours if required.

 

I found an old fast ford mag I think it was the other night, had a read through and they did a test on a diy powder coating kit, awesome results for not much money!

 

Which edition was it in i may still have it lol

 

I'll have a look when i get home mate

 

I got my mate to bead blast all my pulleys at work.
Then I use hammerite smooth spray paint .
It's a lovely finish looks like powder coat and lasts well.

It's a really runny paint out I put light coats on everynigjt for a week and they came out perfect !

 

Yeah I did this when I replaced my rear beam, painted in in hammerite black smooth and it looked just like it was powder coated. That was like 5 years ago and it still looks good

 

Did you use hammerite smooth black? Was it a spray you used? I tried this once. The paint seemed to have almost no pigment even after much shaking it still had terrible coverage.

 

Yeah hammerite smooth black. Sprayed it on, primered it first with grey primer and then good few coats of paint. Still looks good now years on

 

Send it to Peterborough plating for bright nikel coating. It's what we do with all our std pulleys now. Unless you want black then blast and paint. But remember to remove the paint from the crank sensor pic ups on the crank pulley

 

That would look smart all the pulleys shiny nickel plated. Look like a brand new car under the bonnet then
